1 nodelet插件编写和使用流程介绍
ROS nodelet插件和ROS中普通插件编写流程一样,因为它们都是借助plubinlib来实现插件动态加载,都必须follow pluginlib使用规则,因此编写一个nodelet插件大致流程如下:
1.1编写nodelet插件class
由于插件基类是nodelet::NodeLet已经存在,所以不必编写啦。
MyNodeletClass.h
[cpp] view plain copy print ? #include <nodelet/nodelet.h> namespace example_pkg { class MyNodeletClass : public nodelet::Nodelet { public: virtual void onInit(); }; }1.2 导出nodelet插件
MyNodeletClass.cpp
[cpp] view plain copy print ? // this should really be in the implementation (.cpp file) #include <pluginlib/class_list_macros.h> #include <example_pkg/MyNodeletClass.h> namespace example_pkg { void MyNodeletClass::onInit() { NODELET_DEBUG("Initializing nodelet..."); } } // watch the capitalization carefully PLUGINLIB_EXPORT_CLASS(example_pkg::MyNodeletClass, nodelet::Nodelet)
1.3 接入到ROS系统使用插件 1)编写插件描述符
MyNodeletClass.xml
[cpp] view plain copy print ? <library path="lib/libMyNodeletClass"> <class name="example_pkg/MyNodeletClass" type="example_pkg::MyNodeletClass" base_class_type="nodelet::Nodelet"> <description> This is my nodelet. </description> </class> </library> 2)导出插件包到ROS系统 package.xml
[cpp] view plain copy print ? ... <build_depend>nodelet</build_depend> <run_depend>nodelet</run_depend> <export> <nodelet plugin="${prefix}/nodelet_plugins.xml" /> </export> ... 3)编译插件 主要是CMakeLists.txt一些修改工作 4)nodelet启动文件
[cpp] view plain copy print ? <launch> <!--node:nodelet manager launch--> <node pkg="nodelet" type="nodelet" name="standalone_nodelet" args="manager" output="screen"/> <!--node:my nodelet launch --> <node pkg="nodelet" type="nodelet" name="MyNodeletClass" args="load example_pkg/MyNodeletClass standalone_nodelet" output="screen"> </node> </launch> 2 实例分析 分析ROS已经提供的插件nodelet_tutorial_math: 2.1 编写并导出插件nodelet_tutorial_math 常规做法是分成2步,第一步编写插件,放到.h文件,第二步导出插件,放到.cpp文件;这里合并到.cpp一起完成如下。 nodelet插件主要编写的就是函数OnInit(继承自Nodelet),做一些ROS node基本初始化。
[cpp] view plain copy print ? #include <pluginlib/class_list_macros.h> #include <nodelet/nodelet.h> #include <ros/ros.h> #include <std_msgs/Float64.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <math.h> //fabs namespace test_nodelet { class Plus : public nodelet::Nodelet { public: Plus() : value_(0) {} private: virtual void onInit() { ros::NodeHandle& private_nh = getPrivateNodeHandle(); private_nh.getParam("value", value_); pub = private_nh.advertise<std_msgs::Float64>("out", 10); sub = private_nh.subscribe("in", 10, &Plus::callback, this); } void callback(const std_msgs::Float64::ConstPtr& input) { std_msgs::Float64Ptr output(new std_msgs::Float64()); output->data = input->data + value_; NODELET_DEBUG("Adding %f to get %f", value_, output->data); pub.publish(output); } ros::Publisher pub; ros::Subscriber sub; double value_; }; PLUGINLIB_DECLARE_CLASS(test_nodelet, Plus, test_nodelet::Plus, nodelet::Nodelet); }
2.2 插件接入到ROS系统使用 1)编写插件描述符 nodelet_math.xml
2)导出插件到ROS系统 package.xml
3)编写插件启动文件 plus.launch 启动后将会看到如下节点:
4)编译插件 CMakeLists.txt
